Description
or: fading awayATTENTION! This description eventually contains SPOILERS!
Shepard and Garrus <3
I used a lot of references (Screenshots I took by myself, "The Art of the Mass Effect Universe"-Artbook, and a lot of references from this genius guy here: )
I wanted this picture to be perfect to bind my adoration for this couple on a piece of art. It was an awesome practice because I had my problems with some sections. Especially Shepards face didn't quite fit at first.
I'm really glad how it turned out finally. I sat about 2-3 days on this.
Now I can die happy xD
*cries*
Mass Effect... i can't get this horrible ending... i hope Bioware releases something better soon!
I don't want Shepard to die, but I also don't want to kill Edi and the Geth on purpose >__< Maaan! It was such a hard work to bring the stupid quarians and the geth together!!! FUUU!!
I listened to the ME3 Soundtrack over and over again while I was drawing... especially the track "Leaving Earth", and "Das Malefitz" finished me off.

EDIT: THANK YOU BIOWARE! In my point of view, the new DLC ending was waaaaay better than the original ending! It's not perfect - but still I'm more content with it! YAY for additional love interest scene! Garrus <3

In relation to this and Space Hamster I know exactly how you feel. Writing and Editing is my thing so I couldn't have painted or even sketched these if you put a gun to my head. Kudos for you.
However I DID make my own ending (That's where the video editing comes in) and that made me feel much better.
Space Hamster almost undid that. I must go watch it again to heal. Yeah, those parts of the OST are hard to listen too.

Thanks a lot for your compliment!
Why don't you put some of your endings on youtube or something?
And then link it on your profile or something
I'd really like to see that!
Even if it's misery, I'm happy (in my own misery) that the picture can actually transport this message/emotion.

I appreciate a good tragedy. I'm a Shakespearean scholar but it doesn't always work.

No. I wish I was that good.
The Gifs were made by Mallyxable.

The new ending material was made by Neehs.
[link]
I simply redited Neehs' work and added in Mallyxable's with the soundtrack to tell the story I wanted. I'm story boarding an updated version. Well, I will...as soon as I have time to do the playthrough to get the footage I need.

Haha! A fellow FemShep player! I played a FemShep too: a Paragon Adept with Fiery red hair.
I actually considered hooking up Bonnibel Shepard with Garrus at one point during my run in ME2. There's something deeply noble about Garrus who believes in the good so ardently but is constantly disappointed by the failure of people in measuring up. I mean, this guy went to the most crime-ridden sector of the galaxy in order to kill mercs? How insane is that?
Personally, I'm glad he ended up with Tali in the end. The dude needs comfort and the assurance that he isn't some failed vigilante but quite possibly the most honorable Turian of them all. I'm guessing our Shepard will be watching Garrus from a bar in heaven after all.
Kudos with the lovely work dude. The composition and painting is good and clean. The distance between the two portraits is symbolic and effective.
I'm waiting for the Extended Cut myself for the proper ending. I want to know that my hardwork on Palaven and the other places aren't wasted (Like the citadel. Man, I really dislike Bioware for killing nearly everyone on it)

Yesss! I played a paragon soldier! I'm too stupid for biotic or stuff.
Constant fire rules xD
Well I guess that's pretty insane... that's why they call him archangel! ;D
I really like the german voice actor of Garrus... It's strangely attractive x'D
I had Liara in ME1 but hated her in ME2.
That's why my Shepard ended up with him at first to be honest! Haha!
But I found out that he's totally cute and funny!
Thank you! I really appreciate your compliment <3
I brought the the Quarians and the Geth together!
Helped EDI to get more information for her love life!
For what use?! Yeah Bioware is really cruel...
Making another charged DLC as a proper ending - that's how to earn money as a game publisher today?
I would hate them if their games hadn't this great attempt!
But they screw things easily when the don't listen to the community.

You should give Adepts a try. There is something really satisfying making the enemies fly away
I checked out Garrus' German voice in youtube, and both his German voice and English are awesome. It's like this really tough dude with a dash of gentleness in his voice. It's a pleasure to listen
And good work bringing the Geth and Quarians together! I think that's only possible if you've played it as far back as ME1. If there's anything to give hope to the galaxy, is this alliance (And the Genophage cure too)
That's why companies need to listen to the people who buy their stuff. They tend to lose focus on why they're making games in the first place. Making money is important, but how can you do that when there's no one spending it willingly? I have this feeling that EA is twisting with Bioware's mind. EA games isn't exactly the most respected game company.

I tried it in multiplayer... my team members were not amused! They need to revive me all the time then! xD
Yes! The voice really hawt
Didn't you play ME from the start? Or did you bring them together too?
Poor Mordin! R.I.P! Q--Q But he died for a reason though. A pretty good If you ask me!
I'd sign that!
The thought about EA and Bioware came to mind too.
EA is pretty profit-oriented and I guess they probably apply a lot of pressure on Bioware...

Lol, I've always loved playing Mages in RPGs so the Adept was a natural choice. Playing and thinking tactically are important You probably enjoy playing Warrior-type characters
Yeah, I played Mass Effect from the start. No DLCs, but because of the Extended Cut I may have to reconsider.
I felt really sad watching Mordin die! And the game is forcing you to make a hard decision. I mean, we've known both the characters (Mordin and Wrex) and it's hard to say "No" to either one. Still, I think letting Mordin cure the Genophage put him at peace with himself.

PanicatsPhantasie In reply to illeity [2012-05-25 06:45:07 +0000 UTC]
That's slightly true, but I don't only prefer warrior-type character... I like stealthy characters the most!
Assassin, Sniper, Archer, Thief.... that's my world
I didn't play any DLCs too... but I'm also thinking about getting other DLC's. I would, for example, like to play the shadow broker DLC from ME2... I just got the ME comic which is about the story in ME2 between shepard dead and ceberus reconstructing him/her. And after this comic the story would logically continue with why/how liara became the shadow broker... I was totally beaten by the cold interaction with liara during ME2...I want to know more >__<
I totally approve with that. I guess the peace is not even only for himself, but also for the endured conflict between salarians and krogans in general!

Stealthy, then that means the Infiltrator is perfect for you! She has this Tactical Cloak that's really useful in setting up the perfect shot!
I learned from the Wiki about what Liara did which is kinda logical if you were romancing her in the first game. But the experience made her cold and cynical. No innocence was spared I'll be playing the Lair of The Shadow Broker too when the Extended Cut comes out (As well as the Kasumi and Zaeed DLC). If Bioware intends on clarifying the ending, I want to get the full experience

Yeah, I'll try that in the multiplayer... but I'm not used to it (not to say: I suck at it).
Every game uses another technique for it... do you play the multiplayer too? I'm too busy to play frequently at the moment, but I guess it would be funny playing it with you! Just if you're interested of course.
Yeah... I mean... it's logical why she acts like this but I have this strange need to PLAY it and have the answer served on a silver plate.
I had the Zaeed DLC (CE)... I didn't like it (because you have to be evil for Zaeed to like you). And how he appeard then in ME3 was pretty... loveless. Nevertheless, if you are curious then nothings gonna stop you!

Thank you for the invite, but where I live, I don't have Xbox Live supported yet and well, multiplayer isn't really my thing
I haven't been playing my Xbox in a while now myself. Been busy building up this career in Freelance, figuring out my brand and stuff as well as drawing and painting everyday.

That's a pity!
Well I like the multiplayer because you can play the different races.
I hope you'll get it someday, maybe you'll like it!
Yeah I work on my portfolio, art trades and commissions, as well as schoolwork at the moment.
A lot of stuff, but I enjoy it!
It's good to have a goal you can reach! How old are you by the way (if I may ask)? xD

illeity In reply to PanicatsPhantasie [2012-05-27 16:24:06 +0000 UTC]
Yep, Ill give it a try when I do
I'm 25 I'm a career-changer, having left a potentially stable but fulfilling Medical career. Because I spent most of my time preparing for Med school (which didn't work out in the end), my skill level has stagnated a bit and I'm in the process of catching up to myself. A life lesson to be had here is: Be honest with yourself
Despite my rediscovered art-life, I'm largely a noob in the Creative industry. There are a lot of uber-talented people here and while I'm a little terrified of my prospects, I do my best to work through the fears.
It's your turn now; ErzΓ€hl mir von dir!
